60

Answer 1

Rest Hypotenuse part of triangle=100-64=36

Now

• x²=64(36)
• x²=8(8)(6)(6)
• x²=8²6²
• x=8(6)
• x=48

Answer 2

• B. 48

Explanation:

Use the ratio of corresponding sides of similar triangles

• x/64 = (100 - 64)/x
• x/64 = 36/x
• x² = 64*36
• x² = 8²*6²
• x = 8*6
• x = 48

Correct choice is B
